The cooling system with internal radiators and a massive metal plate effectively dissipates heat, maintaining stable Class A amplification. The power supply of the device is equipped with a 50 W toroidal power transformer and capacitors in the filter with a total capacity of 19,200 μF. The Aune S17 Pro EVO headphone amplifier delivers 7.5W of output power when driving headphones with a nominal impedance of 32 ohms.

Aune S17 Pro EVO power into 6.35 mm (Low Gain): 32 ohms – 738 mW, 100 ohms – 266 mW, 150 ohms – 177 mW, 200 ohms – 133 mW, 250 ohms – 106 mW, 300 Ohms – 88 mW, 470 Ohms – 56 mW, 600 Ohms – 44 mW. 4-Pin XLR Output Power (Low Gain): 32 Ohms – 2880 mW, 55 Ohms – 1764 mW, 90 Ohms – 765 mW, 100 Ohms – 1000 mW, 150 Ohms – 694 mW, 200 Ohms – 520 mW, 250 Ohms – 416 mW, 300 Ohms – 347 mW, 470 Ohms – 221 mW, 600 Ohms – 173 mW. 6.35 mm Output Power (High Gain): 32 Ohms – 2050 mW, 100 Ohms - 688 mW, 150 Ohms - 464 mW, 200 Ohms - 348 mW, 250 Ohms - 282 mW, 300 Ohms - 235 mW, 470 Ohms - 150 mW, 600 Ohms - 117 mW
